Concrete project update

So we were wondering how we were going to get rid of all the concrete that we had pulled up from the side and back of the house. Tara called the Westminster streets department, and was astonished to discover that our trash people will pick it up! Amazing, the trash services around here are just incredible. I keep expecting Homer Simpson to lead them down the street singing ‘The Garbageman can!”

Anyway, here’s the latest pictures from our concrete abatement project:

Here’s the SE side of the house. I’ve removed the sidewalk from the old entrance to the basement to the last slab before the porch. I would remove that slab, but it may well be holding up the porch itself.

Here’s the sidewalk that was killing the maple in the backyard. The maple may be well and truly dead, but at least the damn concrete is removed.

This photo was taken this afternoon from the same location as the ‘before’ picture of the backyard below. Notice we’ve pulled out the fence - and, today, the old hot tub frame!!!
